February is always a wildcard in south-western Pennsylvania. As you will see - we had snow and snowmen and we had bare-foot-backyard weather.
Valentine's Day was the highlight of our February - I was determined to keep it low-key this year, but my children had other plans in mind. They kept reminding Derrick and I that Valentine's Day was coming and they kept a running countdown leading up to the big day. I finally broke down and got some balloons to surprise the kids with (amzn.to/3T6OUde) and we planned a candle-lit dinner of steak and shrimp!
Needless to say, we always get a little stir-crazy by mid-February - so thankfully, with the exception of one quick snow-storm, we had a relatively mild month - meaning the kids could still bundle up and get out to ride their bikes and scooters and run around the back yard.
Moments of note this month:
(0:16) Testing out her new bike bell she got for her birthday!
(0:27) Braelynn got to meet her brand new cousin who was born on HER birthday! Braelynn and Zoe are birthday twins!
(0:44) The tent came back into regular rotation in February - the kids would set it up for sleepovers every weekend. They got really good at putting it up by themselves and taking it down!
(1:16) Nana and Papa sent us a box of fruit from their fruit trees and Braelynn and Leander tried grapefruit for the first time ever - needless to say, they weren't fans.
(3:10) Happy Valentine's Day!
(4:50) Leander Cam
(5:47) Braelynn Cam
(7:18) Happy birthday to my sister, Emma!
(7:31) Starting all of our vegetable seeds for this summer! Last year, we didn't start them until mid-March, which was a little late, so we were on top of it this year! (We use these trays: amzn.to/3wNDumY - they work great!)
(8:23) Braelynn missed "January Birthday Night" at church because she was sick, so she got lumped in on "February Birthday Night"!

My goal is to take all the little videos I take over the course of a month & create a short (my goal is to be around 10 minutes) video of my favorite snippets. I am SO excited to finally have a dedicated place to chronicle my family videos & keep them safe & accessible. #HomeMovies
All videos captured on my iPhone 14 Pro.
Enjoy a tiny little peek into what our February looked like!
